6-12, 13, 14-84 Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO

The first set of the first night starts off with a good Alabama Getaway->Greatest Story Ever Told. The Friend Of The Devil that follows has a nice feel while the Little Red Rooster, Big Railroad Blues and Me And My Uncle->Mexicali Blues are their usual selves. Althea is very good with some great Jerry soloing. Looks Like Rain is good as is the set ending Might As Well. The Scarlet Begonias->Touch Of Grey is very nice and the first time we'd get this short lived combination. Estimated Prophet->Eyes Of The World->Drums->Space->The Other One->Wharf Rat->Around And Around->Johnny B. Goode and U.S. Blues are typical of the era but a good listen none the less.

The second night had a lightning storm during the show and begins with Hell In A Bucket. The Candyman, C.C. Rider, Ramble On Rose and My Brother Esau that follows is very nice before leading to the set ending Cold, Rain And Snow->Don't Ease Me In. The China Cat Sunflower-I Know You Rider gets a big cheer with the "cool Colorado rain" line. Man Smart, Women Smarter and Ship Of Fools are good with Let It Grow jamming out into the Drums. Space->The Wheel->I Need A Miracle->Stella Blue->Sugar Magnolia are all good and It's All Over Now, Baby Blue is sweet.

The third and final night opens with Iko-Iko followed by a nice Cassidy->It Must Have Been The Roses. New Minglewood Blues is typical for the era while the Brown-Eyed Women and Jack Straw are above average. Jack Straw->Day Job ends the first set. Shakedown Street is okay but not the best of the year by any means. Playing In The Band is quite nice and leads into the first Dear Mr. Fantasy before leading into Drums->Space which then leads back into Playing In The Band. Black Peter is strong and leads into Throwing Stones->Not Fade Away with a repeat encore of U.S. Blues.
